The Maruti Suzuki Alto and Renault Kwid are the B-segment rivals of the new Hyundai wonder. The Alto have not seen much success but the Kwid has been a hit. The Eon too has not been of much business, lets hope Hyundai gets a better prospect with this redesigned lineup.The Tata Tiago might also be a probable competition. The car might come at a price range of Rs. 3 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs.
